Fab Lab
A Fab Lab is a small-scale workshop that offers digital fabrication tools and technologies. It provides access to equipment like 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC machines, allowing individuals to create prototypes and products. Fab Labs are designed to encourage innovation, creativity, and hands-on learning in various fields, including engineering, design, and art.
These labs are part of a global network, often associated with the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms. They aim to empower communities by providing resources for education, entrepreneurship, and collaboration. Fab Labs promote the idea of making and sharing knowledge, fostering a culture of open-source design and manufacturing.
